Does anyone else feel "yeah - Dr. Who starting in autumn, that works perfectly and will be great (and also boost ratings hopefully)!" but at the same time feel "GODDAMNIT Why do I have to wait so long, this is bullshit!!"

This is for me the least anticipated series of Who since the final Rusty one. Last one was kind of a mess, despite some great episodes. Moffat is so much better as a guest writer than show runner IMO. I do really like Matt Smith, though.

Yeah, you need to tell them to watch the last 10mins of Siluria on D4ilyM0tion or something.

Wow, do I hate Ian Chesterton.

Went back in time to SB you for this.

Daleks/Mutants is monster but waayy too padded at seven eps, when you're not watching week-by-week and not knowing anything about what comes next. Let's go back and forth between the Dalek city and the Thals camp AGAIN!

After the six episodes broadcast in the Autumn/Christmas this year, the remaining eight will be shown next year, with Moffat adding: "Oh, there'll be more episodes than just those eight, but these are the ones we're making right now." No other details of when and what else will occur during the 50th Anniversary have been revealed as yet.

I'm hoping the new companion isn't from present-day Earth. Always more fun when they're aliens or from the past/future

Just realised they're probably doing the split season thing so Matt Smith can be the doctor into the 50th year, and then regenerate into #12, which would explain his contradictory "I'm just doing 1 more season" / "I want to be part of the 50th anniversary" statements
